Brain Drill's Quantum Catastrophe is just too much. They've gone too far. This album is the perfect example of something that is immensely impressive in theory but completely indigestible in practice. This, my friends, is hyper-wankery.

The more I listen to this band, the more it seems that their unique talent is to remain catchy for as short a time as humanly possible. This brand of grind-influenced technical death metal makes explosive diarrhea seem downright glacial - riffs, tempos and leads linger about as long as an addict in line for free crack. So yeah - all this shred guitar, acrobatic bass and non-stop blast mayhem is impressive. Very impressive. But - so what? Someone showing off their abilities is just a novelty. It amounts to being a distraction or a curiosity that intrigues for a short period of time. So, is there any reason why we should subject ourselves to Brain Drill's wank-a-thon more than once?
